Cinderella and Culture Bundle: A Multicultural Fairytale Reading Unit

What better way for your students to learn about CULTURE and DIVERSITY than through the fairy tale genre, particularly Cinderella. This unit gives you everything you need to integrate READING, (Fiction and Non-fiction) WRITING, SPEAKING AND LISTENING, GEOGRAPHY, and WORLD CULTURE. The projects, activities, graphic organizers and close reading questions work well with FAIRY TALES AROUND THE WORLD. It offers a large variety of student opportunities for every learning style, differentiation, and covers 4 Domains within the Common Core State Standards.

Super way to address diversity, racism, and acceptance. Students who learn and understand different cultures are less likely to negatively judge others just because they are different.
